JOOLA Perseus 3S Dual vs Selkirk Project Boomstik
The Perseus 3S Dual and Project Boomstik are both elongated power-oriented paddles, but their measured profiles are not especially close. The JOOLA brings familiar Perseus geometry and substantial swing mass; the Boomstik pushes harder toward maximum offensive output.
Quick Verdict
Choose Perseus 3S Dual if you prefer the JOOLA platform and a slightly lower purchase price. Choose Boomstik if power, pop, spin, and stability are the primary goals.
Performance
Boomstik leads power 100/100 to 65/100, pop 39.23 to 37.45 MPH, and spin 87/100 to 72/100. Those are meaningful differences rather than marginal wins.
Handling and Stability
The two paddles are almost identical in static weight at 8.18 and 8.20 oz. Perseus has the higher swing weight at 122.25 compared with 118, so it actually asks more from the player during repeated acceleration. Boomstik also has the higher twist weight, 6.81 versus 6.40.
Who Should Choose Each?
Perseus 3S Dual fits players already comfortable with the Perseus shape and its leverage-heavy feel. Boomstik is the stronger option for a player evaluating the matchup purely on measurable offensive efficiency and stability.
Paddle Knight Verdict
The Project Boomstik is the stronger overall performer in this matchup. It delivers more power and spin while carrying a lower swing weight. The Perseus 3S Dual remains relevant for players who specifically prefer JOOLA's geometry, feel, or ecosystem.
